6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Three-time hurdle winner won a novice chase at this meeting last year; third on seasonal return in a Navan handicap hurdle but last two efforts over fences have not been encouraging; back over timber now and new headgear combination needs to revive. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 0lb |
Three hurdle wins and got off the mark over fences at Fairyhouse last April in a novice chase (2m4f, soft to heavy); joint favourite for the Paddy Power at Leopardstown over Christmas when a solid sixth (3m1f, yielding); never looked comfortable in Grade 3 handicap chase last time back at that venue (2m6f, soft); chance if bouncing back despite being 3lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Sole success came in a maiden hurdle in 2023; has run well in handicaps off higher marks than this; stayed on late for fifth over 2m6f (good) at Ballinrobe last time out in first-time cheekpieces (retained); dropped 2lb and could go well stepped back up to 3m. |

Sole win came in a Thurles maiden hurdle (2m5f, soft) in 2023; has gone close in handicaps but hasn't looked a winner in waiting recently; mark sliding but needs to revive. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles also ran well in 2m7f handicaps at Punchestown off 100 mark early last year (soft); lightly raced and well below best this past winter but entitled to come on from recent Cork comeback run and is down to a dangerous-looking mark. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
11st 12lb |
Quirky sort who can sometimes be reluctant to race; got a deserved first win after a series of fine runs in defeat at Punchestown in January (2m6f, soft to heavy); beaten just a neck back there next time; bagged another win at Thurles earlier this month, rallying to get back up by a nose despite rider dropping his whip; up 7lb but in great form. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |

Gained a deserved first win in 2m6f handicap at Punchestown (soft to heavy) following a series of fine runs in defeat; refused to race at Fairyhouse next time; was again reluctant to line up at Punchestown latest but ran a cracker to be beaten a neck; big player but comes with risks attached; new headgear. |

10st 5lb |
0-31 over hurdles and 0-51 overall; has shown some bits and bobs of form this season and is suited by this C&D but still makes only limited appeal from 5lb out of the weights. |

Sole win came over this sort of trip at Killarney in August 2023; running well in defeat from this sort of mark at the end of 2024 and may have needed this month's return at Tipperary; some rain would be in his favour. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 147y |
10st 0lb |
0-14 under Rules, not a bad run at Limerick in May when beaten 6.5L in a 2m3f handicap chase off 77; looked a non-stayer over further the last twice and this drop back in trip should suit but it is hard to make a solid case for him. |
33/1 |

First reserve; yet to hit the frame in 13 career starts; best effort when sixth in a handicap chase at Limerick (2m4f, good) in May; needs to find more. |
